I'm by no means an expert on CP in films but I happen to know that 'The Guinea Pig' (10.00 am tomorrow, Channel 4) includes a caning scene.

Richard Attenborough (26 at the time) plays a working-class boy of 13 sent to a private school as an socio-educational experiment.

At one point in the film, he is lying over a desk being caned by a master when the master's attractive wife (in real life, Mr Attenborough's OWN wife!) accidently walks in.

I could write a book on the erotic undertones in THAT situation!

P.S. Even non-spankophiles should watch or video it - it's a very good film!

Ah yes, dear, dear Dickie. I once saw him walking up St. James’s Street in Brighton with dear old Ralphy and that bisexual fellow from

Cut aff in yer prime eh?
Can anybody edumakate me as to who this William Penn (AKA Biro etc.) is or wis?
Ta in advance, Jockie.

This film is being shown again on Channel 4 on Monday 17 November at 13.00.

Dear, dear Dickie does not cry before, during or after his caning: he saved his tears for the ‘Oscar’ ceremonies more than twenty years later.

Saw it. Not very exciting, in fact downright unerotic. However there is an unintentionally daft exchange later on in the film when on Commemoration Day, a teacher mentions to a parent that she should see her son's painting in the Art Room.
SON: It's a nude.
MOTHER: Oh my goodness!
SON: It's all right mother, it's a male nude!

Still I see that tomorrow (well today) there's "Bottoms Up" with Jimmy Edwards. We live in hope ...
